Just as in the US, the Netherlands etc., these phone companies are required to open up ADSL to multiple ISPs. That's why they come up with dreadful schemes such as NAT, PPTP, PPPoE.
My local cable company does not have these requirements imposed on them. That's why they can offer a nice and simple DHCP setup through their Internet cable monopoly...
XFdisk looks a lot like the OS/2 bootmanager but doesn't require a separate primary partition. It's a DOS program, so you can put it on a DOS rescue disk. For instance, in case Windows overwrites the MBR (sigh).
IMHO it looks much more intuitive than Lilo. You still have to install Lilo of course, in the Linux boot partition instead of the MBR. I am sure Lilo is more powerful but in most cases XFdisk would be much easier to user. XFdisk supports harddisks up to 1 Terabyte.
Have you tried other DOS clients? (See my webpage).
Just for testing, have you tried downgrading Samba to a lower protocol, such as LANMAN2 or even CORE?
I wished I had more time to check out these kinds of things since clearly the Samba guys leave these things for other people to fix. And rightly so since they have no need theirselves. I guess we have to scratch our own itch, eh?:-)
And yes, some people still have a need for DOS. Perhaps not in the US, but World != US.
A DOS client can be useful in some cases. Diskless workstations have already been mentioned. Our PABX runs under DOS, now I can let it write its logfiles to a Linux machine for processing!
I tried that with NetBIOS over TCP/IP (LANMAN, MSClient) but its footprint was too big: lots of TSRs gobble up memory which did not leave enough room for the PABX software.
And yes, as you can see on my homepage I have tried several DOS clients with Samba. The only DOS client which looks nice (little low memory usage) is the IBM LAN client but the specs say it only works with original IBM network cards. However, I got tipped that you can actually use any NDIS2 driver. Dunno if that is true, but at least I now have two options!
So all in all, I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
One of the things I like of the show is that the fun is often in the details.
For instance, when the Simpsons are suddenly very poor and Homer has to feed the cat. He opens the can, the contents label reads "ashes", he turns the can upside down, and SPLASH! A bunch of ashes falls on kitty's dish!
If you have ever bought cat food, you'll notice that the label actually reads "ashes". That's what I mean with the devil is in the details...;-)
Look again. The root cert is hidden but it's there. If tech support failed to mention you this, this doesn't bode well if you really need tech support...
What they fail to realize is that some people may have legitimate reasons to not upgrade their browser. If you have older hardware and not too much memory, the recent versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer run unacceptably slow.
Instead, you could also just install the new root certificates from Verisign and Thawte, and continue using the old browser.
Available for immediate download from the Netscape Internet site, Netscape Communicator with strong encryption would allow users worldwide to enjoy far greater protection
Immediate? Not really! I still get:
Bad Domain DNS NAME: Host Name: adsl-145-99-x-x.snelnet.nl IP Address: 145.99.x.x Your DNS name probably won't be accepted.
According to this CNet article, Microsoft offered this Delphi lead architect a $1.5 million signing bonus, a base salary of up to $200,000, and options to buy 75,000 shares of Microsoft stock. He was to become the Visual J++ lead architect.
Now, I'm curious. Will Anders stay with his VJ++ love child and transfer with it to Rational Software? Or will he go for the money and wait for his Microsoft options to vest? And what will he be working on? Exciting products like Visual C++ or COM?
I remember a couple of years ago the south of Holland had a bad flooding. Fortunately, nobody was killed but thousands of people were evacuated. The European distribution centre of PB had to be closed as well, temporarily of course.
The PB management took the "opportunity" to close the entire facility, and fire everyone!
I understand why a company might want to close down a "bleeder", but closing down while a major part of the employees is going through a natural disaster seems especially cold hearted to me!
I mention this incident everytime the name PB comes up, e.g. when people express intentions to buy one at the local Dixon's. Suits them right!

For a moment, I was thinking of that other loophole in Kerberos...
> You do have lm announce set to yes, for OS/2 support?
No, if you have OS/2 clients I would suggest setting it to yes but it's not required.
When set to yes, the Samba server should show up faster in the NET VIEW list.
Check out my homepage on this.

And yes, it is GPL-ed, should anyone ask.
And I guess if you use a VPN you can configure the mailserver to only accept mail from authenticated users with IP addresses on the VPN network.
Plus, the VPN would add to the overall security as well.

Of course, you don't get to see the pictures but it's better than nothing.

Benjamin Braddock : Yes, sir.

Why not click here then? ;-)

I forgot to mention that he got knighted, since that's what the article (in Dutch) I refered to was all about.
Piet Beertema never asked for compensation either. The registration he set up in Holland was seen as an example in several other European countries.

Of course, the numbers tell a different story...

I remember Microsoft "recruiting" the Danish guy from Borland who came up with Delphi. He was going to work on Visual J++. Any status on that yet?
My man, you must have had a great imagination... ;-)
